[WIP] Need feedback for hand painted character

Camille_Boisvert

Hi Polycounter's! 

This is my first post here,  I have been working on this character for a few months and  I would really love to get any feedback on how to improve it. I  used 3ds Max and Zbrush for modeling, Headus UVLayout for the Uv's, Marmoset for baking/rendering and 3D Coat for the texture.

Thanks !

Any advice?something to help a poor junior?

Enhirement

Cool character, I'd say for the darker shadowed areas around the arms and hips could be lightened up. Avoiding pure black and white colors work well for me.

Snakes

I was going to say the exact same thing as Enhirement. The super dark shading on the mouth makes it really hard to identify. I'd definitely consider brightening it up with maybe a lighter brown. Possibly do the same for the hands too. I think a good way of think about it is these intense dark colours completely hide all the form of your model. Hope it helps, even if its just building off Enhirement's comment.

Thanks for the advice ! I've lightened up the hands/hips and the mouth 



If theres anything else dont hesitate to tell me since this is still a WIP . Here's a shot of the staff im working on. Thanks again!

I really like the design; regarding the texturing, it's a bit soft , I would limit the use of the airbrush and add more defined details everywhere; and don't forget the highlights (since it looks like a totally hand painted character, right?)
